I have written well
over twenty books in the past twenty-some-odd years, but I’ve never attempted a
Christmas story–not until I was asked to join a group of talented New York
Times and USA Today, bestselling authors in a Christmas box set. I read a few
books to get the “feel” of a holiday story and jumped right in,
needing to write this in less than two months.
KISS ME SANTA flew off the pages and was so much fun to write. I normally write
romantic comedy, some spicier than others, but this story led itself to be
sweeter than most.
First, we have a
widowed teacher, Cindy Harris, who takes her son to meet Santa at the mall.

have his daddy back for Christmas–or a new daddy–not anymore dumb toys. Every
other kid he knows has one–why must he be different? When Santa tells him that

calls Santa a fake, and his mother tries to console her heartbroken son.

and tells them that he is Santa’s helper, not the real Santa.
have it, he turns out to be the new real estate agent Cindy hires to sell her
family home. Sparks fly between them. Will the magic of Christmas open their
hearts, and offer the best gift of all: love?
